[DEVELOPING] OpenAI targets $30B of new funding at a $1.4T valuation with the IPO on hold (Bloomberg, single source)
Bloomberg reported Sep 29 that OpenAI is seeking about $30B in new funding at a valuation near $1.4 trillion, with the IPO plan deferred; Benzinga carries the same figures citing Bloomberg, so the round is single-sourced at origin and unconfirmed by OpenAI. The round lands on the same day as DevDay and one day after the reported Astra shelving, which together frame the demand-side picture for the compute suppliers ahead of Micron's FQ4 print tonight.
